On the heavy days
Today's talk · preview
Day 46. Let's talk about the heavy days.
Some days aren't about cravings. They're just heavy. You wake up flat. Everything feels gray. Without a drink to blur it, you feel all of it.
That can happen in early sobriety. It doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. But I want you to take it seriously. If the heavy lasts for weeks, or it's getting worse, talk to a doctor or a counselor. That's not extra. That's part of your recovery.
